North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association Releases Podcast on Pet Dentistry
Dr. Kathy Queck Discusses Animal Dental Care and Hygiene
Raleigh, NC, November 04, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association (www.ncvma.org) has announced the release of a podcast discussing proper dental hygiene for pets. Dr. Kathy Queck, DVM, FAVD, veterinarian and founder of The Carolinas Animal Hospital and Dental Clinic P.A. in Charlotte, N.C., provides advice for properly caring for pets’ teeth, gives tips for inspecting pets’ oral health, discusses the most common dental problems seen in animals, and shares detectable symptoms pet owners should constantly be looking out for. In addition, Dr. Queck explains what veterinarians can do to treat dental problems once they have been detected. As Dr. Queck discusses in the podcast, pet dentistry is a critical component to animal health as periodontal disease impacts at least 85 percent of pets by three years of age. Additionally, oral cancer is currently on the rise, with oral tumors being the fourth most common form of animal cancer. Therefore, it is crucial that owners are constantly monitoring and caring for the dental hygiene of their pets. The podcast is available to download here, http://bit.ly/RvUQsc.
Quotes:
“Oral health often times determines the health of the entire body,” said Dr. Queck. “If we want our animals to live a happy and healthy life, we really need to emphasize the importance of proper dental hygiene. If pet owners take dental care seriously, I think that we will find that our pets will live much longer, thus giving us a lot more time to enjoy them.”
